Velocity, Speed and Acceleration

Free Fall :

 

S=(.5)gtē      S = position t =time g = gravitational pull (32 ft/sē)

Exp:

T=2

S=16tē S=64 feet.

 

Velocity - is derivative  "Just take the derivative of any equation and plug in the numbers for any point(s) to find velocity"

 

msec = average velocity

 

mtan = instantaneous velocity

Aceleration - derivative of Velocity  "Take derivative of Velocity and plug in the numbers for any point(s) to find acceleration"

Speed - Absolute value of Velocity
